Good Cause

January
28

Just a note here to pump what I think is a good cause. Mike Ditka’s “Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund” has several fundraising events going on in and around Phoenix. But the one you guys might be interested in is the on-line auction of various pieces of memorabilia at www.gridirongreats.org.

Ditka’s organization helps the former players who can’t get medical assistance from the NFL or the players association. Ditka, along with many other NFL vets, are fighting to get increased financial support from the league for the guys who need extensive surgery and medical upkeep in their later years. A lot of them helped make the NFL what it is today and yet, they’re being swept under the rug.

Anyway, wouldn’t hurt to give the site a look and if you see anything you like, bid on it. The guys could use the help.

Ciao for now.

    Now that your Team has blown their chance (probably those Dallas Cowgirls or the “other” NY excuse for a football team) , ya got nothing better to do than hang out on The NFC CHAMPION’S Blog?
    Get lost, LOSER!

    Many of the Giants wore black business suits
    for their arrival today. The Men In Black are in town.

    The Cowgirls haven’t even won a playoff game
    since ‘96. The Giants won three this year.

    The last time the Jets won a title, no one
    had heard of Woodstock or Charlie Manson, man
    had not yet walked on the moon, and Chappaquiddick
    was known by very few outside that local area.

    That’s how long it’s been for the Jets. Jets?
    They are like Snoopy’s Sopwith Camel.

    Good link, Ernie. Shame that it’s necessary.
